A recently published study in the journal BioScience reveals that endangered longleaf pine ecosystems—among North America's ...

In 2006, the Brazilian government passed the Atlantic Forest Law, which banned most tree cutting in the country's Atlantic Forest region. Four years later, the team of researchers began monitoring ...

Tropical coastal forests known as mangroves are known for being the first “buffer zones” in coastal systems. New research shows they may also be resilient to hurricane damage and capture more carbon ...

Post-tropical Cyclone Sandy left a ghost forest of white cedar in New Jersey in 2012. In the Chesapeake Bay region, more than 80,000 acres of forest have turned to marsh in the last 150 years.
